Avionics Harness Engineer II

What You'll Do

As a Harness Design Engineer II on the Avionics team, you will contribute to harness design and integration activities from conceptual design to system integration – including component selection, process development, qualification, and production. By demonstrating proficiency in all phases of harness design, this interdisciplinary role offers growth opportunities and exposure to subsystem- and system-level design through collaboration with cross-disciplinary stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• 2-3 years of professional experience in wire harness design, electrical systems design, or hands on harness manufacturing.
• Ability to read/interpret electrical schematics and mechanical layout drawings.
• Understanding of wire gauge selection, current carrying capacity, and voltage drop calculations.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, or similar) for harness design and routing.
• Experience creating wiring diagrams, routing in 3D, and producing 2D drawings for production harnesses.
• Able to generate and maintain accurate technical documentation in accordance with engineering standards.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical work at design reviews.
• Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams and manufacturing/integration personnel.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with aerospace, defense, or spacecraft electrical systems.
• Experience with NX CAD software specifically.
• Hands-on experience with development and test harness design for qualification testing.
• Experience developing or contributing to Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Experience designing harness mounts, brackets, and secondary structures.
• Proficiency/certification in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing.
• Experience supporting harness production, manufacturing processes, and vehicle integration activities.
• Exposure to R&D investigations or trade studies focused on design optimization, mass reduction, or cost savings.
• Understanding of signal routing optimization techniques.
